Football Manager developer using community website to introduce new game features.

By Alex Simmons

Sports Interactive is the latest development team to jump on the MySpace bandwagon - however, rather than posting videos of the development team larking about in the office, it's planning to use the community website to introduce new features of its latest game, Football Manager 2007. According to the developer's first entry, the game will be an "evolution rather than a revolution" and will include over a hundred new features to make it more user-friendly than ever before.

For starters, the controls have been optimised for console players so it's just as easy to navigate around the myriad of menus using an Xbox 360 pad as it is a mouse and keyboard. Secondly, players will benefit from an improved hints database that provides useful advice through the game, whether for beginners struggling with their first steps into the world of football management or experienced users wanting to find out more about FM2007's new features.

The blog promises a handful of new announcements every week, right up until the game's release in November. Rest assured we'll keep you up-to-date with any developments as and when they happen.
